Good point and I agree. I think I'll take a trip to the harbor and wander the aisles of the local marine supply stores.Ya know, one of the things about campers is that boat construction is very similar in a lot of ways, with all the fiberglass that gets used in both.
I got 12mpg on the worst tank of gas (70-75mph) and 15mpg on the best (60mph). Good times!
Yikes!I'm only averaging high 13's or low 14's, and that's with no high-top and lightly loaded.
Just curious how you are calculating the mpg. Are you taking the larger tires into account? Your numbers might actually be a bit higher.As expected, the Tiger ran perfectly. I got 12mpg on the worst tank of gas (70-75mph) and 15mpg on the best (60mph). Good times!
Ouch. With Grumpy's cylinder 2 misfire and a stuck open thermostat, the van still gets over 20 mpg on the mostly highway drive back and forth to work. Using hypermiling techniques that van has seen trips over 24 mpg. This is with both back seats in and the van acting as a rolling tool shed.I MUST have something wrong with my van, I'm only averaging high 13's or low 14's, and that's with no high-top and lightly loaded.
I'm using GPS. The larger tires create a 5% discrepancy between the factory odometer and the GPS.Just curious how you are calculating the mpg. Are you taking the larger tires into account?
So earlier today I was sitting in my room at the Houston Marriott. I glanced out my window just in time to see a familiar shape pass by.
Later on I went to get my car and saw it, again, in the parking lot:
Hard to tell from the pic, but it appeared all of the LP items had been removed (furnace, hot water heater, etc.). The lack of a propane bottle underneath adds a ton of ground clearance. It looked like most of the original interior was torn out (no shower enclosure) and replaced with a bigger sleeping area. The diamond plate fit perfectly and the whole exterior was in excellent condition. Someone put a lot of work into this Tiger.
Strange... seems like I'm starting to see Tiger's everywhere (cue Twilight Zone theme).
Here's a shot, again, of the stock and Provan seat mounts:
Here's the final version of my custom mount. Figuring out the correct offset and angle was the time consuming part:
